Will Office 2004 work with Mac OS 10.4.11?

I'm currently running Office 2004 with Mac OS 10.4.2 but will soon be upgrading to Mac OS 10.4.11. I'm wondering if the Office currently installed on my computer will work with OS 10.4.11.
(All the component apps of Office are marked as Version 11.2, except Entourage, which is marked as Version 11.2.1.)
I'd appreciate any thoughts. THANK YOU.

Shouldn't be any problem. I used Office 2004 with 10.4.11 for quite a while until I bought Office 2008.
You might want to update your Office apps, though, with the latest security updates and bug fixes. My Office 2004 apps are all 11.3.something versions.

Will Office 2004 work with Leopard?

I'm about to install Leopard on my MacBook. Will Office 2004 continue to work, or will I need to re-install/upgrade/buy new software? Thanks

Word, Excel, and Powerpoint have no trouble launching. Some have had trouble printing though. There is a new free update from Microsoft which may fix that issue, but I haven't yet seen any reports.
I would backup your work before installing Leopard in any case, just in case you may have underlying issue that wasn't resolved as my FAQ* explains:

Does Microsoft office 2004 work with lion?

Does Microsoft Office 2004 work with the new Lion OS?

I did not upgrade from Excel 2004, since I spent a lot of time and energy to develop a large number of functions using Excel macros.
I will not upgrade from Snow Leopard.
What else ?
I had the intention to change my 4-year-old 17" Macbook pro, not compatible with Lion, to a newer one. I had... There is no further reason to do that.
Apple, now loosing old supporters and customers ? Or am I getting too old ?
A 4 year old Macbook Pro should run Lion. Unless its a CoreDue and not a Core2Duo. Remember that PPC computers can not even run Snow Leopard. This was when Apple announced that support for PPC programs would be phased out. Office 2004 is almost 8 years old now. Twice as old as your computer you say needs to be replaced. I can't believe people rush in to install a new system without doing a little bit of research, and the dropping of Rosetta to run old PPC programs was well advertised if you read up on Lion, as was the introduction of Mission Control and Versions. I even read up about them, and I'm not a professional like some who come here. May pay to remember to research in future releases.
Good Luck

Will OFFICE 2004 work?

I don't want to upgrade if not.

I found the problem with my installation.. First, I deleted office and reinstalled it, which wasn't necessary.. The problem was duplicate and/or corrupted fonts.. I'm somewhat of a 'font ho'.. I have about 700 installed, and some were duplicates.. I opened Font Book and chose all the fonts and used the Resolve Duplicates menu item, which shut off all duplicate fonts. This alone allowed all the Office 2004 programs to successfully launch over and over.. I went one step further and also had Font Book Validate the fonts.. I found a few corrupt ones and deleted them..
So, now Office 2004 works fine for me..

I was reading an earlier post about upgrading to 10.9.2 and still using Office for Mac Excell 2004. Will Excell 2004 work with OS 10.9.2 or is there an Open Office I can use?

I currently have 10.9.2 and just purchased Office 365. The 365 won't work for what I want to do. Need to go backe to Excell 2004. Is there anyway to do this with my current OS? Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.

Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.
First, MS Office 2004 will not work on versions of OS X Lion or later including your 10.9.2. On Mavericks you need Office 2011.
Second, the difference between Excel formats in Office 2008/2011 vs. earlier versions of Excel is that Office 2008/20011 uses the ".xlsx" filetype but earlier versions including Windows Excel 2003 use the older ".xls" filetype. The older versions of Excel can't open the newer ".xlsx" filetype ... but there is a way you can exchange Excel files between the newer and older versions of Excel!
In Office 2008/2011 just SAVE AS Excel 97-2004 Workbook (.xls) if you need to use or exchange your Excel file with earlier versions of Excel, Windows or Mac. And, going the other way, Excel 2008/2011 can open and use the older .xls files just fine.

How to make Microsoft Office 2004 work with Lion 10.7.5

I just upgraded my iMac with Lion and now have OS 10.7.5, and now I have a message that "You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." However, I run Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac on my PowerBook Pro--is it possible to do something to the 2004 edition to make it work with the upgrade? Or do I have to buy a new Microsoft office program?

Thanks--that's what I was afraid of.
I found the other versions of this question AFTER I posted mine--silly of me...and nice of you not to point it out.
I will look at OpenOffice but I dislike iWork so will likely get the new Microsoft version.

Will Office 2004 work if I install Lion?

I heard there are problems with older versions of MS Office.

if you are going to have to upgrade your version of MS Office, and if you are going to go to Mac OS X Lion then you will, then I would recommend you go to MS Office 2011.
There is some debate about whether you can "install" MS Office 2008 as the installer may have been PPC based.
Also, MS has already stated that they plan to release free updates for MS Office 2011, to make it compliant to the new features that have been introduced with Mac OS X Lion. Features like application resume, auto-save w/versioning, and full screen applications.
You might also find the cost of the Home and Student version of MS Office 2011 to be very reasonable. The only reason to get the business version is for Outlook, and only if you actually need Outlook.

Will office 11 work with lion and old doc files?

I updated to Lion and my old office will not work... will office 11 be able to read and use my old office files ...word and excel?

Office 2011 will work with Lion, old doc files will work with 2011 as long as MS hasn't done something in Office 2011. I have had no problems with files from as far back as office 2003 with 2011.

Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match. I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so. Are the 2 incompartible? I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity. Any thoughts are appreciated!! Paul

The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

Will This sofware work with Mac Os X 10.4.3?

I reacently purchased a copy of Adobe PageMaker 7.0 for Mac but haven't being able to install it. The message on the computer is telling me that the sofware cannot run on this operating system.
The software requirements ask for Mac os 9.1 or Mac OS X (classic mode only).

I'm not an expert but I've had similar problems (wanting to run classic applications on tiger) and asked on here and basically, no. It won't work.
Somehow apple have managed to release this "oh so wonderful" intel core duo thing with tiger which prevents an incredible amount of software (ie. all classic) from working!! haha so clever...
so sorry but I don't think it will work..
If you want to double check though feel free

Will any iPod work with Mac OS 10.3.9?

I want a basic iPod for music on the move but what older ones will work on my iBook G4 running 10.3.9? I don't mind trawling eBay... I understand that the new iPods require a more up to date OS...

You can look at the iPod specification profiles here
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumer_electronics/index-ipod.html
There is an entry for +Mac Support+ on the profiles, which shows the earliest Mac OS X release that is supported by each model.

Will Office 2008 work with OSX Mavericks?

It's supported in Mavericks and will work unless something goes wrong during or after the upgrade.

Will InDesign CS4 work with Mac OS 10.8?

I am buying a new iMac and would like to know if I will have to upgrade Adobe CS 4 software.

All bets are off with CS4 on 10.8. You can try, though.
As for upgrading you have no upgrade path except to Creative Cloud.

Will Lightroom 3 work with Mac OSX 10.7?

I just purchased an iMac with Lion 10.7 and would like to use Lightroom 3. The system requirements for Lightroom 3 shows OSX 10.5 or 10.6. Nothing listed for 10.7.

Steven,
Be sure to download 3.5. That one has some Lion-related problems fixed.
No matter how you buy Lightroom, you can apply the serial number you get when you buy it to the downloaded trial version to make it a non-trial version.
